Fall accidents represent a tremendous health problem to the
society, both in terms of human suffering and economic losses.
Improved understanding of age-related biomechanical characteristics
in response to unexpected slip perturbations would enhance our
ability to identify the successful reactive-recovery mechanisms
involved in slip and fall accidents. This book described a
laboratory study having both young and elderly participants walk
over a slippery surface. A 3D lower extremity joint moment analysis
was performed to those trials that participants successfully
recovered their balance. The findings indicated significant
age-related differences in joint moment generation patterns. The
information presented in the book would help develop effective fall
prevention strategies and is intended for researchers in the field
of human balance and stability control.
